From the Bob Hope MGM movie, a series of edits linking all of the College Swing cuts in this movie together into a "super" cut. The beginning was hardest as the was some 3 stooges type antics just before and just after this quick segment and narrowing it down to just that, and then marrying the timing to the overture orchestra section wasn't easy and took some serious time. I had to get down to microseconds on the timeline. The [erformers in this piece are top shelf. Martha Raye rocks, she belts it out as usual, in fact I think the phrase "belts it out" comes from describing her in press releases. It also has Jackie Coogan as the one band leader. He is Fester from the Addam's Family TV series. He's a tweenager here. He invites Bety Grable no less to come up and sing a few bars of the song. The other guy that sings is unknown to me, and his performance is a little weak next to the others. What you don't see is Jackie and Betty doing a dance that's a lot of fun. Then a few more of the orchestra sections are edited back in and I end it with Martha Raye at the ending but let it play to it's end this time instead of cutting away and extending. It's 9:11 long have fun, I can't stop listening to it myself.
